I have a similar situation but I've resoved it by only storing contact
information in the directory.  the other info won't necessarily change, but
I *do* need to interrelate it quite a bit, so I'm storing the RDN in the SQL
database.

i.e. a particular product was sold by a given person.  the person's RDN
would be in the SQL database and if someone needed the contact information,
they would then be able to hit the LDAP directory for the info.  if contact
information changes, there's only one place that needs to be updated, unless
the RDN changes
